oh crap! my may shipping would come out to $42.60, thats for karatti, fighting foe men and wally west! total bill comes out to $160! They $4 discount doesn't really help matters! Worst, I'll most likely get charge for tax as well!!!!!

So my sub came last week, no charges which was great. Then I ordered SOH the other day and forgot to specify shipping and it got shipped DHL lol, I guess it's my fault for not looking but I got hit with a $26 charge for duty and taxes, but hey at least in came in less then 2 days.

i just found the May order email from Matty.
the DHL shipping for Karatti/FFM/Wally West is $29.05.
glad that i switched the shipping method this month.

The rate changes so much for the international shipping with each item...but the DHL changes very little with each new item...for you guys with multi sub and figures...go to Matty site and put essential figures / items in your cart and play with the shipping rates...you will see the difference.

3 or more items and up the DHL is always cheaper...and on the larger packages we have seen that they go through DHL GLOBAL MAIL which applies customs.

This month is ridiculous, I paid $26.15 for shipping and I will get the figures the next day...24 hours. The international rate would have been $34 something and the figures would have arrived in about 3 weeks...doesn't make sense.

Next month though...back to INT post...there is only Octavia...

Hi,

so if i switch to DHL, I pay the brokerage and customs fee to the delivery guy?? How much would the fee be if ever for 3 figures? When the filmation sub kicks in, I'll end up with at least 3 figures a month!!!!

i think DHL brokerage fee is 7.95 + whatever the GST or HST on the invoice total.

my god... there is no break on buying more then one figure.. for every additional figure you get they tack on another 8-10 bucks..
1 figure is 13.75 then it's 8 and change for each additional figure so 4 figures in one medium size box is 37 bucks.. which weights about 4 pounds.. and i'm being generous. i just ordered Castle Grayskull - the statue- from BBTS which is weighed in at just under 7 pounds and it was 23 bucks USPS air mail 5-8 days delivery.. Tell me Matty and DR are not rolling us over... and each time Scott says they make no money on shipping.. my blood boils..

yep. it's why I let my sub die. Spending $150 one figures I don't want doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather buy someone's extra give them a bit of a profit than deal with the RIDICULOUS shipping and Scott's two faced tactics.

well just a check.. for 4 cases of the zolo style cases.. which weight pretty nothing to ship to the US is 13.75

can some one verify what it would be for international, and regardless of country it's the same.

Ie i just did a deal with a member from Denmark and his shipping for FFM and Kar was the same as mine and i'm in Canada

exactly. it's ridiculous. I will be AMAZED if the 2014 sub goes through.
Actually maybe not because Scott will pull all his tricks to get the minimum.
1. NO MORE DoS figures
2. ALL the vintage characters will be made by then
3. quarterly shipping option
4. Fan demanded sub exclusive
5. BUY OR YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING MOTU and we will own your first born child!!!!

**sits back and plays hungry hungry hippos - because the waiting game sucks!

curious, the castle grayskull statue isn't available at any LCS??

wow, congrats CanadaClassics, you got cheap and fast shipping with no tax! How cool is that!

GOOD LORD!! just for kicks I put a panthor and some wwe stands in my cart, $30.75 shipping GROUND so that SMALL bundle cost over $80 in total to get to me. as much as I do feel guilty about letting my sub die, this kind of gouging makes me feel better.

Stop feeling guilty krosfyah. You have nothing to feel guilty about. Mattel showed their true colours with their response to the Fisto fiasco last year. Any time you even feel a hint of guilt, please remember that.... and if that doesn't do it for you, then remember how Matty's shipping rates now have a set amount for each additional item added to an order regardless of size or weight. I assume you didn't agree to that at sub sale time, since they never mentioned they were going to do that. We all assumed (and why wouldn't we?) that shipping rates for multiple items in a single shipment would be based on size & weight, like they've done before (and everyone else does).

ATTENTION:
Canadian Guys go to Matty site and check the shipping for this month....not only is the $4 missing in some cases....the shipping amount we have been charged on the subs is INCORRECT. The DHL is coming up at $28.75 before the $4 discount - I know my invoice I was billed and charged $30.75 - with no $4 discount.

Second: Has anyone received shipments with 2 figures from Matty this year - either day of sale or from 2 subs? I am trying to gage if the combined shipping option for Filmation Sub and Eternia Sub is a good idea. Did they arrive with customs / duty?
